My first blog

I was recently inspired, by a friends blog on motherhood, to begin a blog of my own. In today's culture being the mother of many children is not widely accepted, add to that the close spacing of my children and I feel as though I'm Hester Prynn anytime I am out in public with my five little blessings.

I decided to start this as sort of a journal of my experience as the mother of a large family so that I might inspire or encourage others in the same position. I hope that when you read this you can relate to my experiences, learn from my mistakes, and just find comfort in knowing there are others out there trying to raise up a generation that fears the Lord.

Candice,
One day I hope to have five kids, but life is challenging with two. I am always awe-inspired by those that can handle that. And you are right -- the world doesn't see raising children in the same light. But can I tell you -- I worked in a day care, where people made a career out of raising other people's kids. You literally are the force for good in those children. Those that are loving and caring provide! Anyway, I guess to sum it up GO GIRL! And one day I will be there with ya. Jenn
